General Anaesthetic in Doncaster

Do you have severe dental anxiety that prevents you from getting the care you need? Did you ever wish you could just go to sleep and wake up with your dental work finished?

General anesthetic offered by Shoppingtown Dental in Doncaster allows you to do just that. It is a deep level of sedation that ensures you are entirely unaware of what is happening and don’t experience any fear, anxiety, or discomfort. Essentially, you will 'go to sleep' and wake up with a healthier smile and no memory of what occurred during your procedure.

The Role of General Anaesthetic in Dentistry

While general anesthetic isn’t common in dentistry, it is beneficial in numerous situations. Being ‘asleep’ for dental procedures is invaluable if you are dealing with an intense dental phobia that makes even a simple dental visit an ordeal.

It is also helpful if you are scheduled for multiple procedures in one appointment, such as wisdom teeth extraction. Individuals with special healthcare needs can also benefit from a comfortable, stress-free dental experience with general anesthetic.

General Anaesthetic Compared to Other Sedation Methods

There's a distinct difference between general anesthetics and other dental sedatives you may have experienced. Nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, puts you in a calm state; IV sedation induces deeper relaxation, yet you are still conscious and aware of your surroundings. 

By comparison, general anesthesia guarantees you're entirely asleep, ensuring you will recall nothing of what happened during your procedure. 

General Anaesthetic Delivered by Trained Professionals

Patient safety is our utmost concern. General anaesthetic offered at Shoppingtown Dental is administered in a controlled clinical or hospital environment supervised by specially trained and skilled professionals. You will be carefully monitored throughout your dental procedure to ensure your complete comfort and safety. 

Health and Safety Considerations

While general anesthetic is considered safe in a controlled setting, transparency about your general health is crucial. If there are mitigating factors, such as a history of neurologic issues or you had a negative experience with anaesthetics in the past, it’s crucial to share this information with your healthcare team.
